Beyond The Apparent Horizon Poem by Sukhada Gholba

When living is a saddle
Look away from the apparent horizon and you will discover a novel world
Look at the stars and you will experience wondrous beauty
Look at the moon and you will know love in its pure form, for the moon never leaves the earth alone

Watch a baby laugh and you will know joy in its most simple form
Watch the sunset and you will experience serenity in this mad world
Take a stroll by the beach and you will know music in its most soothing form
Watch the birds fly and you will experience true freedom

Watch the shells on a sea shore and you will discover nature's idyllic pattern
Smell a rose and you will know the person your heart just skipped a beat for
Watch the rain kiss the ground and your mind will know what halcyon feeling stands for
Smile recalling your favourite memory and you will know what living stands for

Because even in murky water does a beautiful lotus grow
For even dew drops could be found on soiled leaves
Hence don't ever resolve that this world has lost its beauty
For beauty can be observed in chaos, if you have an eye for it.
